The right option is c. pancreatic islets

The parts of the pancreas that have endocrine functions are known as pancreatic islets. The islets cells functions by producing and releasing important hormones directly into the bloodstream. The two main pancreatic hormones produced by the islet cells are insulin and glucagon, which acts to lower blood sugar, and to raise blood sugar which is important to the functioning of key organs such as brain, liver, and kidneys.
